When Hearts Hurt

When hearts hurt it’s hard to see clearly anything beyond. When hearts hurt, hours drag on in dulled enjoyment and striking pain. But out there – beyond the walls of self, is a broad sky and nature existing, rejoicing the day! We’re not meant for worry. Nature doesn’t worry. She drinks in sustenance.

We are not meant for anything but life: rhythms and cycles. Each day’s sun and moon rising and setting, whether we see them or not.

Look at this new day! Get outside of yourself and bask in beauty and be thankful for all of life!

Nature of Longing

We loved away pain as rain poured around us
Heat of desire keeping us dry
How great was the need:
we for each other, our chosen
And now, as time goes on, the intensity wanes

Come back! Come back!
How we long for the racing hearts and delighted glances
How we long to be reignited
Fresh in love and full of purpose
like Spring: fresh green bursting forth
in rising desire and beauty
